Amazon wishlist build

[BladeTurbo]

Budget (including currency): 

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming (not high end, games like Ark survival evolved, Palworld, ect)

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

Hi, I'm new to the community, but not watching LTT. I'm planning on building a new pc and buying the parts through Amazon and was wondering if i could get opinions on my parts selections. I haven't built a pc since AMD K7 days so i pieced it together the best i could (the cpu was the most confusing, i know i want to go with AMD, but not sure about the X3D). My current build is an i5-9400f 32gb ddr4 ram, and a GeForce RTX 3060 12GB (this will be transferred from my old system to my new one). please let me know if you have any questions.

Welcome to the forums

You really arent giving us much to work with

Can we have a budget and some games you play?

Other those your list a) has budget use and b) major issues like the fact you have a full ATX board on an mATX case aka the mobo wont fit inside

[BladeTurbo]

my aplogies, I'm looking to spend $1200-$1500 and this is for gaming (not high end, I play games like Ark survival evolved, Palworld, ect). ah i just noticed the mb size, i clicked on the wrong one lol, i'll update it.

wishlist updated.

Just curious, do you eventually plan on upgrading your GPU? Pairing a 9800X3D with a 3060 in the long run seems a bit unbalanced.

[BladeTurbo]

i want to, but the 40x series are so pricey right now and i have no idea on which AMD series, i've always had Nvidia.

For $100 over budget you can get an absolute monster that'll rip your 9800X3D RTX3060 combo to bits. Top of the line CPU can only do so much with a two generations old mid range GPU:

Why not use other sites as well? You can get cheaper parts overall if you branch out, not sure about Amazon, but other sites can have free shipping too on select PC parts.

Micro center since they are on the US and they save money on bundles

They have an AMD sale I believe that with an AMD CPU (even from bundles) they can get a 7900xt for like 599$

Wanted to mention it as option

I think they deliver BTO systems tho but not 100% sure
